Portland’s Independent Music Scene: The Formation of Community Identities and Alternative Urban Cultural Landscapes by Rebecca Elizabeth Ball A thesis submitted in partial requirements for the degree of Master of Urban Studies Thesis Committee: Gerald Sussman, Chair Ellen Bassett Karen J. Gibson Portland State University 2010 Abstract Portland has a rich, active, and fluid music culture which is constantly being (re)created and (re)defined by a loose network of local musicians who write, record, produce, promote, distribute, and perform their music locally (and sometimes regionally, nationally, and internationally) and local residents, or audiences, who engage in local musical practices. Independent (“indie”) local music making in Portland, which is embedded in DIY (do it yourself) values, creates alternative cultural places and landscapes in the city and is one medium through which some people represent themselves in the community.
